I rely 15 shares within the FTSE 250 with forecast dividends of 8% or above. And there are solely 5 within the FTSE 100 with yields that massive (and a kind of, Vodafone, will slash it subsequent yr).
However isn’t the FTSE 100 speculated to be the index for high dividend revenue, whereas the FTSE 250 is the place to go for development?
Issues certain look the wrong way up. And I believe the market could possibly be undervaluing FTSE 250 shares, by loads.
Prime of the picks?
Can supermarkets carry on incomes revenue for shareholders for many years to return? Are actual property funding trusts (REITs) struggling unfairly from in the present day’s property downturn?
I say sure to each of these. And that might make Grocery store Revenue REIT (LSE: SUPR) an undervalued purchase for my Shares and Shares ISA.
It’s slumped since 2022, down 25% up to now 5 years. However the forecast dividend yield is as much as a sizzling 8.1%.

What it does
The enterprise mannequin is sort of easy. The belief invests in high-quality grocery store property, and earns rental revenue. And it goals for capital development too, as property values hopefully rise long run.
The largest danger I see is in a ballooning share rely, because the belief has raised fairness finance. There’s been lots of dilution, and fears for extra of it might hold the share worth weak.
Oh, and there’s been a good bit of debt financing too, as is widespread with REITs.
However that massive dividend yield, from an organization that goals to “secure, inflation-linked, long term income from grocery property in the UK” might make the danger value taking.
Extra FTSE 250 yields
I’ve my eye on ITV too. It’s forecast dividend yield, at 6.3%, is outdoors the 8% membership.
However forecasts present sturdy cowl by earnings within the subsequent few years. And the mooted earnings development might drop the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio under 9 by 2026.
After an increase in 2024, the shares may look totally valued on historic earnings. And we actually received’t see if ITV has pulled off a restoration for some time but.
However ITV joins my checklist of 2024 dividend inventory candidates.
Altering winds
Others embrace Greencoat UK Wind. The shares are down from 2022’s peaks. However meaning a forecast 7.2% yield.
Who’ll win the renewable power race is a giant query. But it surely’s a giant enterprise, and Greencoat is in with a shout. And we might see sustainable revenue development from 2025.
Ahead yields above 8% embrace these from funding companies abrdn (9.3%) and Ashmore Group (8.5%). And housebuilder Crest Nicholson Holdings gives 8.1%.
This seems like a good time for FTSE 250 dividend buyers.
